Is hostility toward suspected pedophiles so severe that prosecutors exhibit excessive zeal and defense attorneys don't bother to defend their client? Will juries convict regardless of inconclusive evidence? For persons accused of sex offenses, is it guilty unless proven innocent beyond a reasonable doubt? If so, there is a systematic denial of justice for those charged.

The Orwellian double speak, that limiting where sex offenders may live is not punishment, has been struck down by Judge Patricia Joyce.

Do we want to keep pedophiles in prison for life? Quotes from ChildRight Worldwide - The Victim Child:

"Parker Rossman, an expert in homosexual paedophilia, estimates the number of active gay-paedophiles at more than half a million all over the world. Apparently one out of eight men sometimes gets sexually excited about young boys."

"According to a study by Briere and Runtz in the USA, of the 193 male students questioned, 21% have been sexually aroused by young children once or twice. 9% of the students said to have fantasies about sex with children sometimes, and 7% indicated to be interested in sex with children if there would be no risk of being arrested."

If you try to put all these folks in jail on top of all those imprisoned for other reasons, we're going to have a society composed of only two groups, prisoners and prison guards.

so, what is the point you are trying to make? Are you for sex offenders living anywhere? By your children? What is an "ex-sex offender"???? is that a reality?? what is YOUR stand on this, since you put the poll out....?

I agree with Ken when I read the post. It was very strange and alarming. It sounds like "Stevie" spends a little too much time researching the aspects of pro sex offender.

This is a great website for information regarding sex offenders in your back yard. It provides photos, the conviction, if they are compliant, etc. and is the Wisconsin Department of Corrections website.
